“Ouija: Origin of Evil” did screen for critics, but it was at the same time as “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” due to a long-standing pissing match between Universal and Paramount that most local publicists can’t (or won’t) fix. Usually when there are conflicts I see the one that was on the schedule first, but in this case I figured people would want a “Jack Reacher” review before they wanted one for “Ouija.” I’ll catch it soon.

We reviewed mostÂ of the above on Movie B.S. last week and this week, along with “Certain Women” (B).
